Acrylic paints dry extremely quickly making blending difficult. Because of this portraits are usually done in oils. I think I would enjoy painting portraits with oils more, but am pleased enough with how my first one came out considering the difficulty of painting portraits with acrylics.
This one took me about 4 hours painting overall.
Ironically, Brandon likes the study I did first best. I did this in about an hour - just experimenting with washes and such and not paying too much attention to anything else.

you have a great talent! that is beautiful!
I can see why he likes the initial one. He is softer in that painting. Some of your lines in the second one are a little harder.
They are both really good though. Keep at it.
Girl, you rock on with your bad self! you are sooo talented! great job!
They're both exceptionally good. What talent you have!

I can't believe that just took 4 hours! Hanna's really into art and doing well. I show her your stuff and say "keep practicing and you can be like this someday"!
